Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

26 year old mother of 5, living with a man she is not legally married to. I don't recall if the article said if he was the father or not. But "they are married in the eyes of her religion".

On one hand - whatever. But if you are going to have an issue with her application, pork shouldn't be it. Or then deny all Orthodox Jewish applicants.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I would like to make a Public Service Announcement: DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS.

Yeah, Comments has started to translate in my head to "Why are there so many fucking assholes?"

That's my instinctive reaction now.

The more common Comments have become, the lower my estimation of the human race. Just in the very banal ways. "Huh, more people are assholes than I thought. Really a lot."

I only knew about the aggressive assholes before which was, what?, 10%? At the outside between 15 and 20%. Now, it looks more like assholery hovers closer to 35-40%.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The more common Comments have become, the lower my estimation of the human race.

Me too. I generally come out of a comments section thinking that people are selfish, petty, small-minded, and just plain mean.

The comments on the NYT can actually be enlightening!

Of course, they are moderated.

My local paper is a classic cesspit. Soooo many racists.

Same for the Guardian UK. Hell, AVClub has some great comments.

Newspaper comments seem to be particularly bad. There's a weird dynamic on SF Gate where the stories are all about life in San Francisco and the comments are all right wing conservatives from the suburbs.

How else will you realize you're living in a den of iniquity and that your souls are in peril if they didn't come in on their missions of salvation?

And how every single person in Oakland is scum and deserves death immediately.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People really need to stop questioning the overall rationale of the big project I've been working on for weeks. It's due Thursday! It's too late! Give me specific ideas of what to do, or stay out of it!

OK, I'm done.
